Customer service in a
nonprofit organisation
Click to edit Master subtitle style
What does
          Connecting Up do?
Helps nonprofits around Australia to be more
  effective
Provides programs, services, events and
  resources to help nonprofits




                   Rosalie Day | Cert IV FLM
What is a nonprofit?
A non-profit organisation is one that is not
  operating for the profit or gain of its individual
  members.




                     Rosalie Day | Cert IV FLM
Why do we help nonprofits?
Non-profits exist to meet a particular social need
 or benefit. Many rely on government funding
 and donations. Public funds are used
 effectively and actually result in benefit to the
 community.




                    Rosalie Day | Cert IV FLM
And … nonprofits are important
There may be up to 600 000 in Australia
They account for about 4% of GDP
They employ 8% of the workforce
They engage over 4m volunteers
They contribute to community well-being
What is a customer?
A party that receives or
  consumes products (goods
  or services) and has the
  ability to choose between
  different products and
  suppliers.
www.businessdictionary.com/definition/customer.ht
  ml

The recipient of a good,
  service, product, or idea,
  obtained from a seller,
  vendor, or supplier for a
  monetary or other valuable
  consideration.
Who are our customers?
All nonprofit and charity organisations in
  Australia




                    Rosalie Day | Cert IV FLM
What do we offer them?
         A variety of products
          and services –
          some involve a
          straightforward
          customer transaction,
          while others are more
          complicated
DonorTec
Discounted and donated software from
 major software companies such as
 Microsoft
Annual conference
Customers register and pay online
Events
Workshops, seminars, local meetups on
 topics for nonprofits
What do customers want?
In a conventional customer relationship
  they want goods or services as promised
  in exchange for money
And when no
         money is involved...
Some of our services are free – because
 people want them and need them but
 they will not pay for them
I'm talking about information!
Why do we provide free
            services?
There is a value for us in providing free
 information services – reputation, loyalty,
 reinforcing our brand
Information services that are free to some
  customers may allow us to develop
  products that we can sell to other
  customers
Information
Newletters, blogs, articles, tutorials
Information - online directories
                     Directory of
                      Australian
                      nonprofits &
                      charities


                     SAcommunity –
                      community
                      services
                      online
What is an online directory?
You know what the White and Yellow Pages
 are



Nonprofit directory – includes only nonprofits
 and charities with a basic level of detail
 that allows people to contact them and to
 understand what they do
This is what it looks like
Who are the customers?
Nonprofit and charity organisations
Government – seeking to regulate the
 nonprofit sector
Businesses – they want to sell goods and
 services to nonprofits
Donors and philanthropists
SAcommunity
A public information service for South Australia




                    Rosalie Day | Cert IV FLM
What's it for?
Helps people to find out about services from
  government and community organisations that
  can help them
Helps people to participate in community life
  through membership or volunteering
Who are SAcommunity customers?

SA Government – our funding body
People who live in SA
Community service providers in SA
Our partner information providers – local
   government & public libraries



                   Rosalie Day | Cert IV FLM
In summary
My organisation has a broad vision and mission
Our customer transactions and interactions are
  diverse
We need to keep learning about and
  understanding our customers so that we can
  provide relevant services to them



                   Rosalie Day | Cert IV FLM
… and don't forget
Try to experience what it's like to be one of
  your own customers – you might see
  things in a new way




                  Rosalie Day | Cert IV FLM

Notas do Editor

  1. Nonprofit capacity building Part of global network with partners in many countries In order to explain the breadth of our customer service and interactions I need to provide some background about what we do. It's not that easy to understand
  2. A non-profit organisation can still make a profit, but this profit must be used to carry out its purposes and must not be distributed to owners, members or other individuals Examples: Red Cross, Rotary, Scouts, sporting clubs, churches, welfare organisations, foundations, RSPCA
  3. Public funding and donations for nonprofits will soon dry up if organisations don't use them to further their stated purpose
  4. The not-for-profit (NFP) sector is large and diverse, with around 600 000 organisations. – The ABS has identified 59 000 economically significant NFPs, contributing $43 billion to Australia's GDP, and 8 per cent of employment in 2006-07. – The NFP sector has grown strongly with average annual growth of 7.7 per cent from 1999-2000 to 2006-07.
  5. When the customer transaction is not straightforward it can be hard to tell the difference between a customer and a stakeholder – that is someone who has an interest in what you do, someone who relies on you to do what you do, someone who can be affected by what you do
  6. The nonprofits and charities that we consider to be our customers may or may not know about us. One of the things we want to do is build both a sense of community among nonprofits and a customer base for products and services that we can provide and generate income to support our organisation so that we can continue to operate
  7. I will start by describing some simple customer services that involve an exchange of goods and services for money
  8. Large companies give away some of their product as part of their corporate social responsibility efforts Customers register online and select products that they want Our customer service team help them to: Understand eligibility criteria Status of their order What they are entitled to Shipping Customers get confused because we are not software manufacturer or IT consultants – we only facilitate the donations. We cannot recommend products or help them with installation. Also they do not understand that donors set eligibility criteria for donated products and that not all non-profit are eligible to receive all products.
  9. Technology, marketing, social media, governance, financial management, communications for non-profits Issues for us in providing this service are that many customers do not commit to coming until the last 1 or 2 weeks. By then we have already committed money to book speakers, pay travel costs, pay for conference organisers, venue, catering. We have no guarantee that we will get the customers we need to cover the costs let alone make a profit. So there's an imbalance between supply and demand. We want to get to the stage where we have so many people wanting to come that we have to close bookings before the conference opens.
  10. Customers sign up online for events and pay to attend
  11. No money changes hands, we are not sure exactly who receives or uses these materials and how useful they find them. People can subscribe for free to newsletters, download and use articles and blog posts. There is a level of interaction with customers as people can comment online on this content Why do we provide this kind of material? It's a way of building our organisation's profile, making people aware of what we do, linking them with other nonprofits and giving them the sense of being part of a nonprofit community. It is also introducing them to other services and products that they may be willing to pay for We are also setting out to place in the public arena information about matters that we think are important to nonprofits and to increase the flow of information so that it can reach people who are seeking it or who need it
  12. Online directories are a big part of what we do. They are complex in relation to customer service. We need to obtain information from many individual contributors in order to aggregate it in a directory. That's a lot of relationships to manage What we are trying to do with our directories is to initiate and foster information flow by placing information that the public are entitled to in the public domain
  13. People pay to be included in the White and Yellow Pages and they understand the value of this to them. Most nonprofits don't yet know about the Connecting Up Directory and the value proposition for them is not clear They pay nothing to be listed – but we want them to do the work – ie register and add or update your own details
  14. In providing this directory we have up to 50 000 customers Not all of them understand or appreciate what we are doing: Eg: Please remove our organisation from this directory and please send a confirmation email to that effect. It is unhelpful having incomplete info out there and we do not wish to register. If we are not removed I will report this to ACFID, NSW Department of Fair Trading and Tim Costello whom you quote.
  15. The np's benefit by being part of a national inventory and by being visible, especially for those that do not have their own website – they don't pay anything Government are not officially a customer yet, but they a\\have expressed interest. If they are going to regulate np's they need to know who and where they are – and if we already have that information we can save them a lot of work. They may be prepared to pay for our services Businesses – may want to sell a whole range of services to np's – eg office supplies, financial services, IT products, training, communications, transport etc. We can sell them access to a market Donors and philanthropists want to give money away – but only to organisations that will put it to good use. We can partner with them to increase the benefit to nonprofits
  16. It's free – but that's because the State Government pays for it
  17. What do the customers want? State Government – want us to acquit the funds according to the conditions and provide a service that makes them look good People who live in SA – want to be able to find community resources Community services providers – link with and refer clients to other services Partner information providers – want a technology platform that works for them and allows then to provide a localised information service. There are 30 of them!
